No, it isn't. One of the clues of telling that is isn't, is that hydrogen is a gas, and If it was an alkali METAL, it would not be a gas, but a metal. Its place on the table does make sense, though; hydrogen tends to behave like other members of it's column in chemical reactions. For example, All of the alkali metals, and hydrogen Combine with oxygen to form the compound X2O, where "X" is either Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium, Potasium, Rubidium, Cesium, or Francium.
Hydrogen.
Hydrogen is a non-metal; it's in group VII

No, scandium is not an alkali metal. It is a transition metal located in group 3 of the periodic table. Alkali metals are elements in group 1 of the periodic table.
No, most nonmetals are on the RIGHT upper corner of the periodic table. The only nonmetal on the left side is hydrogen.
Lithium is the first alkali metal.
No, copper is not an alkali metal. Copper is a transition metal that belongs to group 11 on the periodic table. Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table.
Potassium (K) is the alkali metal located in the fourth period of the periodic table.
No, SC is not an alkali metal. SC typically stands for scandium, which is a transition metal in the periodic table, not an alkali metal. Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the periodic table, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium.
Elements on the left side of the Periodic Table are "Alkali Metals". There is also one non-metal element. H(hydrogen)
No, mercury is not an alkali metal. It is a transition metal that is located in group 12 of the periodic table. Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium.
